ETHNIC ART FROM AROUND THE WORLD

These wonderfully vivid and alive colour sketches capture a time that has passed away as the rural land that was Equador in the early part of the 20th Century. These sketches have a simple beauty about them and a dynamic energy reminiscent of some of the Wild West painters. Each one is an image size of 335 x 220 mm in a 60 mm mount to an overall size of 455 x 340 mm. Being all the same size and all landscape fomat they can be put together in any combination to make a nice set. We have very few of these in stock and they are not easy to come by so click on the link on his name above because when they are gone ....

There is always something very special about Japanese art. They have techniques that are unique to their culture and their paintings often seem to contain a subtle essence of the mysteries of their old traditions in them.

These paintings are mainly from the Hindu traditions in India and illustrate various stories from the great epics of those traditions. Many religeons and traditions of the east have their roots back in the Veda that are certainly one of the oldest records of human experience in the world. Much of eastern art draws its symbolism from the various traditions based on the Veda. The Veda (comprising Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva) is a collection of poetry and ritual songs. The richness of these expressions has made them a cornerstone of many later traditions and no modern Hindu religeon or tradition in India has much credibility if it does not root back into the Veda.
